370Z: A Future Classic?

enkei2k · 01-09-2014, 12:32 PM

I don't think so because they've made so many over the years. I know it's not a lot compared to the 350Z or a Corolla, Camry etc. but in relation to let's say a

MKIV Supra (~11k from 93-98. Includes Base and TT variants)
3000GT VR-4 (~15k from 91-99)
FD RX-7 (~14k from 93-95)

I think there's around 40k total 370Z's out there somewhere so far? So we have a long way to go til we reach classic (cult) status.

EDIT - Just saw the article singles out the Nismo...so in that case, then disregard all above ^^^^. Nismo yes, will probably be classic.

these prices are way off

FD RX-7s will sell for a good 9k at most and the 3000GT VR4 is a good $5000 car

the 3000GT VR4 never became a cult classic like the GSX Eclipse did

Um, he was referencing the # of units produced versus the 370Z.

It's OK. I agree with the GSX. Man....I wanted that to be my first car so bad, but couldn't justify the price tag. People were still asking $10-14k for one back in 2008 when I was car shopping back then. Maybe I'll get lucky and find one for cheap now.

I think of that list, only the F-type and the Alfa will be future classics.

I don't think it's necessarily just the numbers that makes a classic (though I think limited supply obviously helps). For example, the reason why the Supra and the RX-7 are classics are because of their unique idiosyncrasies coupled with a light/heavy haze of nostalgia. The Supra is renowned for being able to handle a ton of power right out of the box and having a very clean, handsome design. The RX-7 has a timeless design (seriously, it'll look good even 20 years from now), and a Wankel rotary engine. These two cars also arrived during the 90s Japanese sports car golden era. All things considered, the 370Z isn't really that distinctive in the larger picture.
